Whats up peeps,
I was just wondering if any of you have any information regarding the minority MD/PhD applicant pool to MSTP programs as such. There is a plethora of data to show applicant, interview, and matriculate data for individuals of all races and genders for the MD-only pool, but I was curious what the data looked like for URMs.
I am a URM that anticipates to apply for many of the MD/PhD programs and was just trying to get a gauge as to how many underrepresented minorities apply this route and what the applicant pool looks like. In my school I appear to be like the only minority anxious in pursuing this goal due to my overwhelming and great research experiences.
Also if any of you are URMs yourself or anyone for that matter, can comment on the diversity that you all perceived at the respective tours and venues (medical universities) you have visited it would be really appreciated. I am currently the only black male research assistant in a top tier national research facility, but still feel very accepted and love the familial atmosphere and would like this to hopefully continue in my distant education.
Thanks in advance and good luck to you guys.
